I'm so glad to see you here at our 3rd annual Hope You Can Cling To challenges! ' Clearly ' this is a most inspirational and powerful challenge that brings stampers together for a cause that has the potential to impact each one of us in some personal way.

In my case, a good friend and neighbor is at the beginning of her journey to rid her body of breast cancer. Breast cancer patients need many things on a regular basis, including excellent medical care, love, and it is very clear to me that they desperately need hope. It's so easy for patients to lose hope along their journey. For some, it can even be difficult to find hope. So let's fill the gallery with 'Clearly Hopeful' creations!

For today's Clearly Hopeful Challenge, I used SU's Boatloads of Love for boat images and message- and added an embossed background, using Cuttlebug's Divine Swirls EF. I added yellow see through gel buttons over the portholes, and a sparkly white heart/ribbon combo. Here's I'm Pulling For You

I am including a thumbnail of my butterfly because from the photo you can't really tell that it has been stamped on acetate. I couldn't get a better photo....I tried about 30 times and no luck! Cheapy camera.
